Red of Time Lacquered Tee Cup

Handcrafted by Jingwen Wu, CH, c. 2024.

A quiet vessel for capturing spontaneity and seasonal beauty, this piece transitions seamlessly between roles— teacup, incense holder, or small table vase. The
metal glaze on the interior is said to improve the texture of the tea, mellowing its astringent aftertaste.

Based in Jingdezhen, Jingwen Wu creates fluid, organic works that blur the line between function and artistry. Her versatile forms invite new interactions, while natural finishes evolve gracefully over time, embodying a poetic approach to everyday objects. Each piece reflects a harmonious lifestyle, where craftsmanship meets subtlety.

"I wish to see new lives animate from the vessels I make.”

Jingwen Wu’s ceramic studio is nestled in Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China. Her work is defined by its fluid, organic forms—vessels that resist predefined purposes, instead inviting their owners to imagine new possibilities. Whether used as vases, tea tools, tableware, or decorative accents, each piece becomes a canvas for the artistic beholder’s vision.

Trained in animation, Wu brings a poetic sensibility to her craft, capturing fleeting moments and infusing them into her designs. Her creations resonate with subtlety and depth, reflecting a dialogue between human intention and natural forces. Through the interplay of layering, gravity, and glazing, she achieves a delicate balance between structure and fluidity, leaving space for interpretation and imagination.
